What are you guys choosing for weather? I swear every single tournament I play it rains 2 out of 4 days. Absolutely annoying. I haven't had a blue sky day in forever.

Live, had rain in one out of 25 rounds so far.....

Alright then I'm switching to that once I can chose that option again. I'm on pre-determined right now thinking that depending on the region you're in the weather will be similar.

Been thinking weather options too, if I play all 4 rounds of a tournament in couple of hours wouldn't live weather then be somewhat same for all rounds? I'm propably going to choose random weather.

I believe you can change this at the end of each tournament, possibly even at the end of each round in the CM Settings menu.....will try to confirm this.

You're correct because I just did it. I remember when I borrowed TW 13 from a friend last year, the game didn't allow you to do it until you started a new season or moved to the PGA Tour or something.

Just noticed that there is a bug in scoring. I thought this happened before but brushed it off. On a Par 3 my tee shot went into the water so I took a drop, landed on the green and the announcer mentions I'm putting for bogey. I make the putt but it gives me a par. I didn't want to believe it when it happened a few days ago but its there

Just rented it last week so I haven't got around to creating my golfer but have had a chance to play 5 or so rounds with the various pros.

Started off playing on a modified simulation setting with everything on default expect zoom to aim and wind on and changed the strike meter to analog instead of analog fade. Was shooting pretty consistently under par with my best being -8 with Rickie Fowler at TPC Louisiana w/tournament conditions.

So I tried playing with the true simulation settings and had a great time. Shot 3 under (5 birdies, 2 bogeys) with Luke Donald at Spyglass and played really well.

Not having zoom to aim seemed foolish at first, but flybys really helped on shots into the greens and my lines off the tee. I also like the idea that the more you play the course the better your course knowledge becomes which can be a nice advantage. For example, they're were some tee shots that I had no idea what club to pull. I took hybrid instead of 3 wood off of a shortish dogleg right par 4 but left my self behind a tree since I didn't hit far enough down the fairway. Had 228 left in and had to play a huge cut around if I wanted to reach the green so I had to layup. I understand that all pros have that sort of info to avoid those situations but if you play from the perspective of an everyday golfer that might not have a yardage book handy, you can look past that. Only wish you still had the ability to look behind the hole while putting as you do with zoom to aim on.

Arrow only wind is fine. You can get a feel for it by how fast the arrow in moving and the swaying of the trees and bushes on the course. And while I still think playing with the analog fade strike meter is unrealistic, it does give you some anxiety when hitting out of the rough which is nice.

I played a TON of 13... is this game enough of an upgrade? I think I'm finally going to skip a year. Last year's game was great, though.

The putting camera bug sounds terrible. How could they mess that up? And, is there still a career mode scoring glitch or did EA fix it?

This not the year to skip my friend. Especially if your in for a very challenging/rewarding sim difficulty. I personally haven't been affected by scoring bug (other than our CC 4 round tourneys are goofy) but that's being addressed. The putt camera is hardly a bug...it's really not that bad and after a few rounds you don't even notice it.

ugh... i joined the OS country club last year and had a blast with 13. Anyone else have thoughts?

Every time I play a round in a country club tourney the game freezes between holes 10 and 11. Totally blows!

there was a certain course last year (hawaii, i think) where the same thing happened to me. i played a quick round, then went back to the country club tourney, and it worked okay. you might try that... it was really frustrating. does it happen during every tourney or just this week's event?

Every CC event

And it's set to only try once so once it locks up I'm DQd

This won't be an issue after the first patch. They are giving us back the putting trail camera. Honestly after the first patch this game will be in great shape. I'm having a blast. The game probably won't ever be a yearly release for me (barring game changing features), but boy am I glad this is the first TW game I've bought in a long long time. The only problem for me is that The Show takes up a lot of my time. I was playing TW constantly the past couple weeks but now that Opening Day has come and gone I'm in Show mode. I'm sure by next week with the Masters I'll get back into it. Overall though the game is well worth it.

I agree that the putt camera is not a bug; it's a conscious design choice. It's not one that was well received by enough gamers who voiced their dissatisfaction over it to make EA Sports realize it might not have been the best decision. To their credit, they're going back and restoring the more stationary, 'behind the golfer' putting camera to Follow cam presentation mode.

I received my Masters Historical Edition version yesterday from Amazon.com. My first order of business was to go to the Augusta National putting green. I'd read that the original Follow putting camera was still mostly (the swing camera view is locked at waist high level for some reason) in effect there see how the "restored" Follow putting camera will look and feel in the game for all putts. It's a game changer for me as it restores most of the intimacy of almost half of the game!

I wouldn't agree that with the current putting camera, "after a few rounds, you don't even notice it"... that wasn't the case with me and some others I've talked to and messaged with. The more I played it, the more it stuck in my craw, especially after I saw how wonderful the stationary Follow putting camera looked in an Augusta practice putting green video last week. The gamers who don't notice the hyperactive putting camera as it currently stands will probably not notice the difference in the restored Follow putting camera after the patch, but I can promise you there's a sizeable faction of "golfer perspective" types like me who will be singing its praises once it's there.
